11. THE ORANGE “BOILER RINSE”
LIGHT FLASHES
1. TO RINSE THE BOILER USING RINSING ACCESSORY
Note:
• To extend the efficient operating life of your boiler and avoid scale particles on your
linen, your generator is equipped with an orange “boiler rinse” warning light that
flashes on the control panel after about 10 uses.
• If your water is hard, increase the frequency.
• Do not use descaling agents for rinsing out the boiler, as they could damage it.
For greater effectiveness and for ease of operation, you are
advised to use the rinsing accessory provided in the box.
It will make it easier to rinse the boiler as the generator will
need less handling.
9- TURBO STEAM FUNCTION (depending on the model)
Press 2 or 3 times on the turbo steam button to obtain a more powerful burst of steam (14):
• for ironing thicker fabrics,
• to eliminate creases,
• for powerful vertical steaming.
Be careful : use the turbo steam function very carefully because of the
exceptional power of steam that may cause burns.
NOTE : continuous use of the turbo steam function will begin to cool
the iron and may cause water to drip from the iron. If this occcurs,
stop using the turbo steam function and allow the iron thermostat to
reach temperature again (thermostat light will come on and go off)
before using this function again.
10- MAINTAINING YOUR STEAM GENERATOR
• Before cleaning, ensure that your steam generator is unplugged and that the soleplate and
the iron rest have cooled down.
• Do not use detergent or descaling products for cleaning the soleplate or the base-unit.
• Never hold the iron or the base unit under the tap.
• Do not place the iron on a metal rest as this could damage it.
Place it on the iron-rest on the base unit : it has non-slip pads and has been designed
to withstand high temperatures.
1. Empty and rinse the removable water tank (15).
2. Regularly clean the soleplate with a damp, non-metallic washing up pad.
3. Clean the plastic parts of the appliance occasionally with a soft cloth.
